CVA Mountain rifle with stainless barrel?

[Frontier's]

Yep it's been cut, not factory crown.

And "some" stainless WILL rust, depends on the alloy.

Very true!

Very true!

That's why if you try to BLUE, you touch it "under the barrel" where it won't show IF it doesn't come out like you want.

All mountain rifles were 32"

An ultra rare cva hawken had a 28" barrel.

Considering you only have 1 ramrod thimble, I'd say it's a cut down barrel.

No sidelock by cva was offered with a stainless steel barrel. Your barrel is in the white. Not finished

That makes me question my rifles. One of my BP rifles is a CVA marked Hawken with a 28” barrel. That’s kind of cool to have one

I have a CVA 32" 54cal flintlock barrel from a Mountain Rifle. It's not marked USA or SPAIN. and it's in the white too.

Most likely a kit gun or a barrel bought seperately. They were in the white. Likely my gun was a kit gun and the original owner customized it at the time of building and left things in the white. But it was well looked after over the years.

I would also prefer CM, in the white and kept well oiled.
